An apparatus including a cover defining an exterior surface of the apparatus and including a first conductive cover portion; an antenna, connected to a feed point and configured to operate in at least a first resonant frequency band; a first conductive member; a second conductive member; and wherein the first and second conductive members are configured to couple with the first conductive cover portion, the combination of the first and second conductive members and the first conductive cover portion are operable in a second resonant frequency band, different to the first resonant frequency band and are configured to be contactlessly fed by the antenna.

Apparatus, methods and computer programs for wireless communication

An apparatus including a first conductive cover portion defining an interior surface and an exterior surface of the apparatus; an antenna element, connected to a feed point and arranged to operate in at least a first resonant frequency band; a conductive element, positioned between the interior surface of the first conductive cover portion and the antenna element, and arranged to couple with the first conductive cover portion, wherein the combination of the conductive element and the first conductive cover portion are operable in a second resonant frequency band, different to the first resonant frequency band and are arranged to be contactlessly fed by the antenna element.

Apparatus and method

An antenna module has a substrate, first and second coupling elements, and first and second resonant circuits disposed on the substrate. The first and second coupling elements are mounted to the substrate and particularly adapted to couple respective first and second frequency bands to a ground plane through respective first and second ports. The first resonant circuit has a plurality of components having electrical values selected so as to function as a band-pass filter within the first frequency band and to present a high impedance at least in the second frequency band. The second resonant circuit is coupled to the second port and has a plurality of components that have electrical values selected so as to function as a band-pass filter within the second frequency band and to present a high impedance at least in the first frequency band.
